Chapter 112 One Sword!
Jiang Shangguang asked five bodyguards to take the tourists to pack their luggage.
They seemed to be well prepared before arriving and drove five commercial vehicles over.
It can attract all the tourists at once.
The hotel employees can go home individually, and the Sifang owner family also has their own car to drive.
Kinoshita Jin also temporarily gave up his scooter and got on the car.
However, he wanted to return to the police station, and before leaving, he contacted the director and colleagues, and everyone met at the police station.
As for the crime scene, ahem...just leave it undamaged.
We are not people who know how to investigate cases. We are waiting for real professionals to come.
Just looking at the weather, it may be difficult to contact outside the island in a short time, and someone from outside will be sent to take over the matter.
While sitting in the car, the rain outside fell like water splashing.
"With such a heavy rain, there won't be mudslides, right?" Tao E asked, looking out the window.
"There may be places where there are no people." Jiang Shangguang said, "Where there are people living, there will be no danger."
The tone sounded confident.
"Is the hotel you want to go to now in the mountains?" Gao Qiang asked.
"It's not in the mountains, but it's not in a town. It takes about half an hour to drive." Jiang Shangguang said.
The island is naturally high in the middle and low on the sides.
That luxury hot spring hotel—it should be said to be a hotel.
Its location is considered to be on the mountain, and the direct distance from the town is not far, but it will take some time to go up the mountain road.
The normal drive takes half an hour, but in the second half of the night, the weather is extremely bad, and there are winding mountain roads. When we can get there depends on the driver's driving skills.
Jiang Shangguang, who was in the passenger seat, asked: "Can you guys tell me what happened in the hotel?"
He has asked around, and now he wants to know more.
"Five people were killed..." Tao E briefly described the incident, "The bodies also disappeared later."
"What?" Jiang Shangguang was shocked, "The murderer actually came back and took away the body?"
"Mr. Jianggang, are you sure the murderer was man-made?" Tao E asked.
"Uh... If it wasn't done by humans, could it be done by ghosts?" Jiang Shangguang laughed dumbly.
Tao E leaned forward and said, "Maybe it's really the work of a ghost? Has Mr. Egami heard any rumors about ghosts on Shenshi Island?"
"This..." Jiang Shangguang seemed to be calmed by Tao E's words and began to think.
Just like there are urban horror legends in cities, aren't there one or two horror stories circulating on the islands?
"It seems that I have indeed heard that there was a custom of offering sacrifices on the island a long time ago." Jiang Shangguang said.
"Sacrifice, sacrifice for what?"
"I don't know, it's just rumors, some kind of living priest or something like that." Jiang Shangguang shook his head, it wasn't anything new.
In a closed place, it is not uncommon for such a sacrificial tradition to exist in a backward era.
Things like throwing people into the river to worship Hebo have never been rare in history.
"Does the name Shenshi Island mean to serve the gods?" Tao E had something to say.
Jiang Shangguang suddenly realized: "Yes, that seems to be true."
Judging from his appearance, he really seemed to know nothing about God Samurai Island.
Nothing was found, so Tao E stopped talking. The car became quiet, with only the sound of raindrops falling.
It makes one wonder if it is hailing.
After a while, Jiang Shangguang started talking again, this time wanting to ask for information about Tao E and others.
I want to ask more details, such as what Tao E and the others do.
However, Tao E excused him by saying that his business needed to be kept secret.
Jiang Shangguang obviously also understood the principle of not talking superficially and talking deeply, so he didn't ask any further questions.
The driver was obviously good at driving. Forty-five minutes later, the car arrived at the warm hotel on the mountain.
It was so late at night that I couldn't tell whether the hotel was very luxurious.
Anyway, it covers a large area and has an independent power system. Compared with the dark town, it is much brighter here.
What follows is a toss-up.
Xia Yanzhen and the others were arranged in four rooms connected together.
Each room can accommodate two people, and there is also a small independent hot spring that can be bathed at any time.
"A room for two."
Tao E glanced at the time, it was already close to 5 o'clock.
According to the length of daylight in summer, there should already be some fish belly white on the horizon, but today is obviously special.
The sky outside was still dark and windy and rainy.
"Are you tired? If you weren't tired, you wouldn't sleep at night." Tao E asked everyone.
"Not tired."
The answers from several people were similar. Bai Huang and the others managed to sleep for a few hours.
With their physical condition, they naturally won't really feel tired.
When Tao E agreed to come here, his original plan changed. He stayed up all night, just waiting to see what else would happen.
What the hell is Jiang Shangguang up to?
They didn't believe Jiang Shangguang, not because they noticed that Jiang Shangguang had obvious problems.
But in such an environment of the mission world, maintaining a certain degree of suspicion and vigilance towards all islanders is what a qualified Dream Apostle should do.
No matter if you are a good person or not, as long as I don't believe you, it will be difficult to be deceived.
Xia Yanzhen was alone, and the other two shared a room. Four rooms were occupied.
Everyone even looked forward to what would happen next with great interest.
Not far from the hot spring hotel, there is a mountain villa. This is the retirement place of Hanyu Heavy Industries, the president and founder of Hanyu.
Yu is over 80 years old today, so he can be considered an elderly person.
His head was bald, the skin on his face was stretched down and covered with age spots, and his whole body was wrapped in a loose robe.
He was lying on a soft lounge chair with the maid behind him.
He looked like he was so corrupt that he was about to be hung from the street.
In front of Yushengxiang, there was the respectful Jiang Shangguang, reporting to him all the things that happened in the hot spring hotel.
"Two people, one is dead and the other is crazy?" Yu Xiangxiang's voice was hoarse, as if he were grabbing a blackboard with his hands, which made people feel goosebumps all over.
"It's because of the shock. I should be able to recover in a few days," Jiang Shangguang said.
"Hehehe, after so many years, has he finally appeared again?" Yu Xiangsheng showed a strange smile, "Go and make arrangements for them to share a room."
"yes."
Except for Xia Yanzhen and others, no one else lives in the same room.
"There are also those seven people, let's test their origins." Yu Xiangxiang continued to give instructions.
"yes."
"That's it." Yu Tiansheng waved his hand, indicating that Jiang Shangguang could go to work.
Soon, Jiang Shangguang returned to the hotel, and with half threats and half inducements, he deliberately arranged for the remaining tourists to stay in a room for two.
Xia Yanzhen didn't need him to make any arrangements, he just needed to test the origins of these people.
As for how to test it, he could do it himself.
The time came to six o'clock in the morning, and all the tourists who had been busy in the second half of the night had gone to sleep.
It was still dark outside, with no hint of dawn.
The rain has lightened up a bit, but the wind is still strong.
Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of this hotel is very good. Even if you dance in the room, as long as you don't knock the wall next to it, it won't affect others.
The hotel room does not sleep on tatami, but has a bed.
However, Xia Yanzhen did not sleep on the bed. Instead, he sat against the wall in the room, with the blood-burning sword on the ground, closing his eyes and relaxing.
He is deliberately training himself to rest as much as possible without lying down or sleeping to ensure sufficient physical strength.
It's not enough to eat more and eat less, you have to sleep ten times as much as others.
Suddenly, the electronically locked door was opened quietly. Xia Yanzhen opened his closed eyes and looked over there, feeling a little confused: "Are you still going to open the door?"
He remembered that in those rooms, the windows were open, maybe someone came in through the windows.
Did you go out this time?
Xia Yanzhen remained calm and sent a message in the team channel: "The door to my room was opened."
"Have you found Brother Eleven? This is the first time I've seen someone so anxious to die."
"Tch, didn't you come to see me?"
"Be careful."
"Can't you see it?"
The four people had different reactions. Sister Aoxue Lingshuang said nothing.
"If you can't see me, it's like you have seen me." Xia Yanzhen's eyes narrowed, and he saw a black figure quietly coming in through the open door.
The outline that I could barely make out was that of a human figure.
After thinking about it, Xia Yanzhen decisively turned on the light in the room.
His night vision is good, but he's not good enough to fight in dark environments that aren't good for him.
The room suddenly became bright.
Xia Yanzhen saw a masked man in black who seemed to be frightened by the sudden light and stood there without moving.
In his hand, he held a dark samurai sword.
"It's not the one at night..." Based on his intuition, Xia Yan really felt that this person had no connection with the tragedies that happened at night.
How should I put it? There is a fundamental difference.
One is full of weirdness from beginning to end, this one is at best considered a home invasion - robbery?
Xia Yanzhen didn't bother to care about this person's purpose. In short, don't leave once you're here.
In an instant, he went from being extremely still to extremely moving. He came to the masked man in black and swung out his sword!
The blood-burning sword roared and turned into a black-red afterimage.
The masked man in black, or Jiang Shangguang, reacted very quickly, and immediately blocked his body with a samurai sword.
The other hand was still against the back of the sword. It was difficult to catch the opponent's sword!
He could see that he couldn't catch it with one hand, he had to use both hands...
There was a crisp sound.
The dark samurai sword broke, and the blood-burning sword remained unabated.
Jiang Shangguang leaned back as hard as he could, but still couldn't stop his chest from flashing with blood, which then turned into a ball of flame.
Burning blood!
Severe pain came over him, not only in his chest, but also in the hand holding the handle of the sword, which was broken, and he couldn't hold the broken katana at all.
Jiang Shangguang took two steps back and hit the wall. His feet slipped and he was unable to stand, sitting on the ground.
One sword!
With just one strike of the sword, Jiang Shangguang was seriously injured.
Xia Yanzhen pierced the wall with his sword and placed it across Jiang Shangguang's neck. With just one stroke, he could be decapitated.
He reached out and took off the black mask on Jiang Shangguang's face.
Xia Yanzhen smiled and said: "Isn't this Mr. Jiang Shang? I thought it was some kind of monster. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Jiang Shangguang wanted to say something, but blood surged from his throat and turned into a cough - a bloody cough.
